difficult file- need help with identify readout

Hey all, we have a file here that CS2 and Gimp won't open. I think this could be the reason (or maybe it's just too huge)

Do all those zeros mean this is a corrupt file?
Thanks

No, those zeroes don't indicate corruption.
The image has 208 million pixels. At 6 bytes/pixel, that would take 1.2 GB of memory. If you are converting it, you will need the same again for the output.

OK- what I did in the end to make it work was to change the density to 72 in IM, then gimp could open it. (It's nice to have IM in the arsenal for these situations
)
